Cheers Fairybasslet I don't like it so much as it's grainy and all (had to push manual w/b to it's limit as I was in some 20-25 metres deep). That guy let me approach and get close enough for a head shot. Still I'm getting green in envy as I look all the other shark shots not least by your great whaleshark shot! Was that on richeliou? I'd die happy if I'd ever see one..
Horned Sharks in Ironman Cove (San Clemente Island, I believe) in the Channel Islands. These guys were about 12" of ferocity. (After all, sharks are advertised as "Eating Machines", right?)
This guy was trying to swim with his tail stuck in the little bed of kelp behind him.

Thanks. Seeing that whaleshark was indeed the thrill of a lifetime. It was my first one ever. It was only 12 feet long and I hope to see bigger ones in the Galapagos one day. It wasn't at Richeliou, that I know for sure. I'd have to check my log book at home to see for sure where it was. The very next dive we saw a manta! That was my first one too and it was awesome. Then just as we were about to get into the panga, the dive master saw a baby whale shark, only about 3 feet long. I had already shut down my camera and didn't get a shot of it, but it was so cute.kapula:

Caribbean Reef Sharks in the Bahamas.
These were taken with a Nikonos V & SB-105 strobe. I recently made the switch to digital. I wish that I had my digital system on these dives so I could have adjusted the colors better with raw files!

Chris: I think the color on your shots is just right; especially like the 3rd shot.

Kapula,
Saw the whaleshark at Koh Tachai Pinacle. The second one, the 3 ft baby was at Koh Bon.
